Your Genetic Story Matters—So Does Your Privacy
In our connected world, DNA testing unlocks extraordinary insights about ancestry, health, and heritage. Yet handing over genetic data raises valid concerns about privacy and security. At Ancestrum, we know your DNA isn’t just data—it’s your most personal story. That’s why safeguarding your identity and your biological sample is at the core of everything we do.
How Ancestrum Keeps Your DNA Data Secure
Security is not a feature at Ancestrum—it’s a foundational promise. Here’s how we keep your genetic information protected at all stages:
- Advanced Encryption: All DNA data is encrypted in transit and at rest, utilizing industry-leading security protocols. This means your information is unreadable to unauthorized parties at every point.
- Strict Access Controls: Only a limited number of authorized personnel can access your sample and results, and every access point is logged and monitored.
- Data Anonymization: Your results are processed using pseudonymized codes, not your name or personal identifiers. This layer of separation means even internal personnel do not see your identity paired with your DNA.
- Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo frequent security checks and compliance reviews to ensure we meet rigorous global privacy standards, such as GDPR.
Transparency, Choice, and Control
Ancestrum champions transparency—because we believe trust is earned, not assumed. Here’s how we empower you:
- Clear Consent: Before any testing begins, we provide plain-language consent forms detailing what you’re agreeing to and how your data will be used.
- Option to Delete Data: You have the right to have your DNA data and physical sample deleted from our systems at any time—easily and without question.
- No Data Sharing Without Permission: Ancestrum will never sell or share your genetic information with third parties for marketing or research unless you provide explicit, informed consent.
